From a faculty/instructor's
perspective, WebCT also fosters a more integrated exchange
of of electronic materials
such as assignments and exam handouts by providing a common
online "meeting ground" for any and all course materials
and updates. Rather than attempt to email out all files to
several dozen
disparate student email accounts, a course designed on WebCT
can allow the instructor to simply post new course materials
to one location and have all students download the file at
their own leisure.
Moreover, WebCT also provides the groundwork
for timed, online examinations capable
of being
taken from any computer with an internet connectionn, at
any point in time, and from anywhere in the world.
Considerably more flexible than your typical
ScanTron examination, right?
